Re: next ep previews

It will be amazing.

Just got to looking at the story boards Chioka Kimitoshi did for those other shows. They look awesome!!
I'm happy we're getting this guy!

Can you imagine the weekly impact that every episode will have on you?
You DON'T KNOW what will happen in the next episode this time. You have no knowledge of what might be coming, no manga to use as a heads-up reference.
Can you imagine the renewed impact that Next Episode Previews (along with the spoilerific titles they will announce during those) will now have on you?

I really hope they don't pull a: "What will happen next? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z! "Next episode: Yamcha dies!"

[Makaioshin]

Like... I have been waiting for this my entire life. Never thought the creator wanted to come back. Looks like he was lying to us!

I think this is an accurate depiction of Toriyama right now.

But yeah, I'm really excited and can't really say much beyond that. I suppose we might get something more on Piccolo Daimao day unless that announcement is meant to be completely unrelated.

That is what is hyping me up so much about DBS. You have no idea what's gonna happen. Especially when Toriyama is handling the show, then all bets are off.

[Dyno]

Dragon Ball Heroes is so much happy about all of this. That game won't die so soon as some "predicted". Not to mention the new amount of what-if's it will bring and probably will mix with Dragon Ball Z, expect to see a lot of people going nuts because of it.

[sintzu]

If DB Evolution didn't exist we wouldn't have this revival by Toriyama right now!

Hahahaha! You make a damn good point. That movie's awfulness single-handedly lead to Dragon Ball being resurrected. Who would have thunk it?

It's good to know that some good came out of it.

I've always wondered what it was like to watch DB that way and now I will.

[Friggin_Krillin]

Toriyama really is a troll

He took his Time for that though

Wonder if he'll do it the old Toriyama way. Just making stuff up as he goes along, which would probably lead to horrible filler, so i hope he has a plan.

Have I died and gone to Heaven? I got to meet the English Voice Actor for Goku and a new Dragonball Series is announced in the same week! This must be a dream!!

Who is Thrilled by this
1) Dragonball Fans (ME)
2) Funimation
3) Bandai
4) Tamashi Nations (SH Figuarts)
5) Everyone

I was wondering how they would make a sequel to Xenoverse after bringing in Revival of F as DLC? Answer Revealed

I hope this completely abolishes the abomination that was Dragonball GT!!

I hope funimation adds this to their simulcast!!!

Storyboards? I thought the only information we had so far was the announcement. Could you show us those?

EDIT: Sorry, I thought you were talking about the new series' storyboards...

[Cold Skin]

But wait, if it follows the path of Sailor Moon Crystal, it will be two or three weeks to wait between episodes.
Oh, well...

Toriyama writing by the seat of his pants is his style. He thrives off of that sort of scenario and openly prefers doing it that way. He very rarely plans any of his stories. But writing by the seat of his pants was what he did for 80% of Dragon Ball. So... yeah. More power to him making up shit as he goes along.

I hope to God that DBS is no way similar to Sailor Moon Crystal, as far as scheduling, animation etc. That would break my heart.

How is SMC animation? If waiting a few weeks instead on one week means better animation then I am all for it.

[AnimeMaakuo]

Toriyama is doing this for money, and it's starting to become like Star Wars and George Lucas. In my opinion, this is going to end up being terrible with plot holes. Instead of using hand drawn animation, it will look cheap with CGI effects and we'll see more super awesome extreme villain with Super Saiyan 7 capabilities and bigger planatary explosions! I can't wait!

The series ended a long time ago. There was nothing wrong with it. I don't need anybody to explain what happens after Majin Boo is defeated. Let my imagination take me hostage. I like consistency with older animation and story during the time of their creation, and the time gap between these is more than enough to not accept it as canon.

He planned Jaco and that turned out good. What I'm saying is I want him to have an idea of where he's going this time.

"Dragon Ball Super will debut this July and will run as a weekly series"
I'm pretty sure theres a difference between reanimating a series (essentially) and creating a whole new storyline.

Phew.

Cold Skin, why are you getting me so worked up for?

[Vice]

So the first episode will air in July? That's pretty quick. Is it going to be like a teaser episode and then the show actually debuts later, or starting in July it will be a weekly thing?

Can you at least wait until we get concrete plot details or a PV, before any cynicism and pessimism takes place?
